about

“When I was a teenager, I saw Karate open a few shows for Fugazi and Unwound. It was some of the first really loud, dissonant music I had ever seen in person. Even though Unwound would go on to become one of my all-time favorite bands, and even knowing Fugazi would be playing that night, it was Karate I was most captivated by. Not many months later, having collected the brilliant Death Kit and “Cherry Coke” 7-inches, I snuck into Karate’s self-titled record release show. As headliners, they didn't play until about 12:30, which felt really late for live music at the time. But from the opening chords of “Gasoline” the crowd was pretty riveted. They were loud and it blended well with the small, smokey stage upstairs at The Middle East. Still a three-piece then, the drummer hit hard and the loud-soft dynamics of the band shocked me. It would be the first of many times that I’d see Karate in that room. Though they would get better and write even more interesting songs, it wasn't later when they were better-known, or earlier in front of 5,000 Fugazi fans, that I would fully appreciate the magic of the band; it was in that moment, at their record release show that I’d snuck into since I was underage and didn’t even have the money to buy the album that made me a fan. Good songs hold up, and so do these albums twenty years later.” - Mike Law
